On the 4G issue you can do 2 things w/out having to reboot. Go in/out of airplane mode to reset the radios.

Or use this script to restart w/out affecting the 3G connection.

Download Gscript LIte from the market and enter this...

killall dhcpcd

/system/bin/dhcpcd

killall sequansd

You can create a Gscript shortcut to this on the Launcher. Is more elegant than doing airplane mode.
[EVO 4G General] brofist:
You are testing with line-of-sight to the skyline right?

I know this sounds stupid, but plenty of people test in their house or garage (in their car ready for a testdrive) and find no lock and never launch a GPS app again.

(just checking, no offense)
[EVO 4G General] LifeInTheGrey:
Or you could just set terminal to open with that same command, so whenever you opened terminal it ran that command.

As far as the whole GPS issue is concerned, I refuse to ever do the GPS "fix". Because it is a way of going around a problem instead of solving it. CM is an awesome ROM, and for it to be "complete" in my eyes, GPS should work out of the box. Take note, I AM NOT COMPLAINING. I don't use navigation that much. But it would be nice for it to work properly when needed. I am confident the dev team will figure it out. But like I said, no "fix" for me.
[EVO 4G General] steveo24:
I have the exact same issue as well as others with no answer, but just wanted to thank you for posting your workaround. I'm leaving tomorrow to S.C. 12hr drive, and still scratching my head on what the heck I'm gonna do about the nav/music issue. And this is one of endless reasons why the XDA community is priceless. Thanks again, you have no idea how well you made my day :D:D:D
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
Assuming it does get fixed. I guess I will never know because I did the fix when it was first discovered weeks ago if not months and have never needed since then.
[EVO 4G General] lawsonmh15:
1.) I have no clue what post you're referring to... my friend is a PM in the software development dept of cricket. He had been using a Rom I never heard of until I pointed him to CM a week ago. He had the same problem with his launcher getting laggy that many of us have noticed and/or are willing to announce... he fixed it for his Droid, I figure one of the devs for the evo might look into it, perhaps before "RC"5. Nonetheless, I've come to adjust my expectations of CM altogether being that alpha/beta releases are apparently release candidates for this Rom. FYI, Vaelpak 3.2 RC1, is just that. No problems with any functionality and the issues that have come up, were resolved in anywhere from an hour, to a day...

2.) I'm not a developer, hence, i couldn't give a **** less if it's sense or aosp. Realistically, if you had looked at VP and gave it a go, you'd see that there is virtually NO SENSE in Vaelpak other than the open sense plugin used to sync Facebook to contacts and for the preemptive dialer... NO ROSIE WHATSOEVER.

The bottom line to the bulk of us is performance, functionality, appearance and battery life. Nobody but other coders gives a **** that cm has built a Rom that acts like a sense Rom. If I reverse engineered a car but it shut down while driving and the brakes only worked sometimes but you should be impressed because, for all intents and purposes, I made a car using my own parts and my buddies helped but it's pretty ****ed up and sprays gas in my eyes when I turn on the windshield wipers, I wouldn't really care that it's "pre-release" and free or not when there's another dude down the street who will give me a car that is as fast or faster, but doesn't break down unless I put silica in the gas tank or ram it in to the car I just gave back for spraying me in the eyes with gas.

Bottom line, the term release candidate doesn't belong anywhere near CM7 yet. If you're a Dev for CM then spend more time looking at code and fixing bugs instead of coming on the forum bringing your "B" game to make a sad attempt at blasting someone who knows what this Rom has been and what it could be but can't think of a single reason why it is what it is now.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
So use the "other guys car" and stop whining. If it's still borked for you then don't use it. You can't say it should or shouldn't be called an RC. It isn't up to you.

There is a big difference between taking a sense rom and stripping out "sense" than building a rom from scratch using aosp.

[EVO 4G General] Redneck Trash:
Amazed at how many people fail to realize that CM7 is not yet a finished product. If you were only going from RC to RC you'd notice some big differences. If you go nightly to nightly you don't notice the differences in RCs that much because of all the incremental changes in the nightlies. As for as the GPS on the Evo and the dialer on N1 go both are big issues and I'll put my money where my mouth is and tell you both will be fixed before those devices get stable releases. Maybe there are people here new to the process but for what I hope will be the last time this is said, CM7 is not yet a stable release.

The trash talking isn't at all helpful or productive and if that's all you have to bring then just leave it at home.

[EVO 4G General] brofist:
That's your tweaked aGPS (ala W.T.F) in effect (works without GPS chipset enabled). Its good enough for emergency services (911/411 what have you), but things like navigation might not track as well without full GPS services.

[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
I've been using 192 dpi for several months now, the reason is that as I played with different densities I noticed the notification icons were often fuzzy and didn't seem scaled very well. I realized 240dpi (default), and 160dpi (default if none set) both divide 480 evenly.. So I split the difference and divided 480 by 2.5 for 192.

It works great and is what I switch to every time I reflash and, IMO, is the cleanest non-stock density setting.

You probably figured out by now but if you haven't, it doesn't need to start with su

Man....RC4 is running smooth as butter for me. :)
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
...And now you can stop....

Any Sense rom, regardless of how "little Sense it has", still has Sense. It is in the very framework. In Sense, everything is prepackaged and nicely wrapped in a bow.

And despite of how you view CM, it is still in the RC stage for a reason. With that said, it is baffling that Android 2.3-based AOSP software is being compared to a Android 2.2-based Sense one....

Perhaps we can create a "CM grievance thread" where people can cry about how the ROM raped their wives and stole their kids?

There are a couple of quirks that bother me, but none that make me go "IF HE CAN DO IT WHY CANT YOU". Apples to oranges, apples to oranges.
[EVO 4G General] sftd:
I don't have an answer for you directly as I use my vehicles built in navigation, and not my handset, thus subsequently I have never tested your particular situation. I can however enlighten you and others who may wonder what the term "ducking" means. In the audio production world "ducking" is using a compressor or limiter in a setup known as "side-chaining". The general goal is to use the volume level of an outside source as the activator for the compressor or limiter rather than the usual application of the volume of the source itself. In turn, this causes the source being compressed or limited to (depending on the settings of the compressor or limiter) be drasticly reduced in volume when the volume level spikes on the channel that is linked in the side-chain. This concept is not easily translated over text, and even in the light of demonstration I have seen those in the production field have a difficult time fully grasping the concept, so I'll in turn offer a rudimentary example to help shed some light on it. A very common application of ducking can be seen frequently in modern pop and electronic music. If you ever hear a bass or synthesizer line of some sort that seems to "pulse" or "throb" in time with the beat, you are hearing the result of ducking. A compressor is placed on the bass line, and side chained (remember that term from earlier?) to the song's kick drum. This results in an activation of the compressor each time a volume spike is created by the sound of the kick drum. When the compressor sees this input from the side-chained channel it activates its effects on the bass line. This results in the compressor momentarily (for the duration of the kick drum sound) sucking the volume out of the bass line in turn causing the end result of the auditory sensation of it pulsing or throbbing.

All of this information is a bit long-winded and may end up being of little to no use at all to you, but perhaps if better understood it would allow you to adjust the settings to either erase or ease your problem.
[EVO 4G General] LifeInTheGrey:
Man, I just wrote this LENGTHY sarcastic reply, read it, and was like ... this doesn't help.

If you don't like CM, that's fine. There is approximately 10 bazillion ROMs out there, and the wonder of rooting is the ability to experiment and find one you like. Feedback regarding problem-solving issues is welcome, pissy comments about how it sucks and should never be ... thats not only a waste of our time, but a waste of yours. We welcome all those that wish to further the community, but if you don't like it or think it sucks ... I mean that's fine, just go to a different ROM that better suits your tastes. I think pretty much any dev will agree with me when I say that constructive feedback helps, destructive feedback hinders, and it really is that black and white.

On a more topical note, I flashed RC4 last nght and it is running beautifully thus far, much better than RC3 actually. I haven't gotten to test all the different functionality, so if I experience something I will post back, but so far everything feels faster and snappier, especially ADW EX.

Keep up the great work.

First, I am not the developer of the app. I couldn't find any threads on here for this, but I felt something like this needed sharing.

This is a Tasker plugin for controlling CM7's profile feature. I've tried it out and it works great. It does cost some money, but I don't think it's unreasonable for what it can offer.

Is the lock screen for anyone being slow to show up? Anytime I lock the phone and unlock it I get the screen that I was previously viewing and then, a second later, the lockscreen pops up.

Yep. Same thing here. I'm usjng rc4. But it doesn't do it if u wait a few seconds after u lock it.

Yes and I think that it is a common problem. I found that it happened most when I was using SavagedZen and set the lower limit to the lowest underclock. I think it is 128. When I set it to the normal level of 256 and also set it to a normal governor such as ondemand, I stopped having the problem. Hope this helps you out.

One more thing. If you are having the problem still, you can just touch the screen and the lockscreen will pop up again.

The PRI update, if successful, causes an issue with roaming.

Furthermore, I still have the 1.34 PRI and my data speeds are great. I easily hit 1.6 download and 1.5 upload with 3G, and I consistently reach speeds of 9 download with 4G.

The PRI update not worth focusing on.

I did the sense fix awhile back and everything has been fine and dandy ever since. However, when I open up "Navigation" and click on "map" (I'm not actually navigating to a specific place, just driving with the map up.) Just recently I've had an issue where the app will zoom in and out non stop every 4-5 seconds. It does the zoom thing in like it does when an upcoming turn is approaching but I'm not turning. I'm not even navigating anywhere. It just randomly zooms in and out in the nav app. Anyone else experience this? I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.
